I bought Slowly We Rot in 1989 and I believed it was the ultimate death metal album, it is now 2020 and I still have not heard an album in the genre that better captures the death metal vibe and feeling. It is the highest pinnacle of the genre in my opinion and it embodies its spirit.

Respect to them! When Obituary were released their debut album SLOWLY WE ROT, back in 1989 & they were the pure innovators of that death metal Area movement (Florida), some other bands ( we call them 'death/black metal' now ) were playing MONOPOLY at their houses.

There's no doubt in mind that Obituary are at the top of their game - be it death metal, thrash metal or metal in general. Unlike many of their peers, they don't rely on shock values, but in general they can still beat listener into submission. They also don't rely on the same tempos and you can actually hear variation among songs, which is quite an achievement for otherwise limited death metal genre. Occasionally John Tardy sounds like acne-sprayed teenager, but that never detracts from the overall experience. All in all, one classy band.
